I wonder if by volume 30 we'll get a victory from Allen and friends that actually puts a dent in the Saint's plans.

Temma is kind of a jerk, at times. Gets engaged then swans off to a dungeon with an old man and a gaggle of girls for a month. No normal lady would put up with that. ;)

Once again I implore the J-Novel gods to grant this series an audiobook. Purely for the afterword.

the MC who played Exgate Online came from 2028

2033, but Exgate Online was just the latest installment in an RPG franchise that started around 2013... at least according to Lufas' memories.

I am so happy that Katsuragi-san asked Sano-kun about his hands. That had me worried for a bit.

@eggnog Thank you very much for your recommendations. I've read Lord Peter Wimsey books and enjoyed them a lot. I'll check out the other 2.

Now that Millis and Wisel are locked in, we need progress for Dia and Ariel and Alma and Raid's brother.

@PeachyGreen when you eventually make it to the afterword, it's clarified by the author that they're named after Goblin Sharks

Read this in one gulp, very easy breezy. Nina is the maid version of Patience from Household Magic.

I hope Nina picks up a skateboard at some point...

@Cryten I don't remember how many volumes passed but I'm worried at the thought of how long it will take of the author is planning to have Rentt reach mythril class.

I find it quite funny that Ukei, Senkei, and Zankei all basicly just agree that these guys was so trash that them been the same Race as Zelos, is basicly an insult to.him thus they gotta be eliminated. Which to be fair nah their right thrse ppl actually deserves thr worst. Meanwhile Ado and the gang finally soon will.meet Zelos again ! Which sure wont be any good for the 4 gods lmao

It's good to have more giant robot novels, but Knight's and Magic is better,although this might improve with yhe next volumes.
Cullina was easily the most disappointing part. How can she stays with her trash husband and abandon her daughter? It's one of those Japanese things where you are supposed to follow what society tells it's your duty no matter how stupid it is? I know if the author wants us to emphasize with her as a tragic heroine, but for me that only males me root for Carome as the love interest, assuming we'll get some romance at some point.
I wonder if all the mechas can transform or Watt's one is special because only him can use powers.
Seems like the twins are the next villains, which is worrisome since there is a serious risk they won't never face retributions no matter what they do because they're kids and more importantly, Cullina's kids.
But the most important thing is getting more giant robot battle and I don't think the author will disappoint in that regard.

I think relaxing the publicity rules would be good, especially for Ginka. If she's going to be a role model for how to return to civilian life, then it'd be good for her to have a public presence.

@arghc said in Miss Blossom’s Backward Beauty Standards: Give Me the Ugly Crown Prince! Vol. 1 Discussion!:

If I were Raph I would still be concerned that Coco only ever talks about appearances. Sure, in her head she mentions that he's kind, but she never says anything like that to him. All this time (2 years), knowing that he has a (completely justified) complex about his appearance, she never says: you're smart, wise, and kind plus you work hard for your people.... sigh.

Coco isn't perfect! She calls herself pretty shallow after all. And I think it does show pretty well in Raph's loneliness and despondency that she alone couldn't break him out of it--he had to find Schwarz's diary and see that love was really possible for someone like him first. (Representation matters!)

Good thing we have a Book 2 to explore more of their development in a relationship and as people ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

The backstory flashback sections were so long and so different that this felt like reading two separate stories. The dragon's story and the blade saint's story. I liked the dragon's story! Did not like the blade saint's story. "Child gets abused into having no self esteem" is one of my least favorite plots.

Anyway, with that out of the way... I look forward to volume 2. I wonder if our vampire lady is actually evil or just has to resort to extreme shady measures to rectify her mysterious misfortune.

Well I hope Garyl will find the courage to talk to his parents and then propose next volume.

This volume isn't generating much discussion, but I'm pretty sure that this dragon riding girl is a descendant of Yumi

@HarmlessDave

The groping seems to be focused on the furry ones and as far as I know, Japanese students don't have fur.
With her background and personality, I could see her smacking someone however. If not physically then at least verbally, which could cause someone to lose face and she didn't have superpowers to avoid consequences back then.
